Nutcracker

Album by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky & San Francisco Ballet Orchestra & Denis de Coteau

The Nutcracker is a two-act ballet composed by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, first performed in 1892. The score features richly orchestrated Romantic melodies, inventive use of orchestral colour and a series of dance movements rooted in waltz, march and character-dance traditions, reflecting Tchaikovsky's mature style and its place in late 19th-century ballet repertoire.
